Technology Director needed to join a growing company with a strong UK presence and international reach. As the business enters a new phase of growth and transformation, this role will be pivotal in shaping and delivering the technology strategy, driving product innovation, and ensuring commercial success in alignment with the business goals.

The Company

This is a dynamic, well-established company that’s been on an impressive growth journey, driven by significant client wins and an evolving service offering. With a strong UK presence and international reach, the business continues to innovate and expand into new markets.

Technology is deeply embedded in how they operate, and with major transformation projects already in motion including platform modernisation, infrastructure upgrades, a renewed focus on data and the launch of a new SaaS product which is leveraging AI.

The business is built on a culture of openness, collaboration, and accountability. They believe in hiring great people and empowering them with autonomy and opportunity. With a focus on communication, collectiveness, and transparency, they are committed to building an environment where talented individuals can thrive, develop, and drive real impact.

The Role

As Technology Director, you will play a central role in shaping and delivering the company’s technology vision & product roadmap. You’ll be responsible for defining the long term tech strategy, aligning it with wider business goals, and leading the delivery of innovative and scalable solutions across the organisation.

This is a board level leadership role, offering both strategic and operational scope from software solutions and enterprise infrastructure to data, cyber security, and technology governance. Your influence will extend across the business, and your decisions will directly support its continued growth, resilience, and innovation.

Candidates will need to demonstrate proven leadership in driving software solutions, with a strong track record in owning product strategy and delivery. They should be commercially sharp with client-facing experience that supports business growth and unlocks new revenue streams. Candidates must inspire and develop high-performing teams, thrive in SaaS or product-led environments, and communicate confidently with board-level executives and senior clients. Above all, an entrepreneurial mindset and passion for innovation are essential to seize market opportunities and lead transformative change.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and execute the company’s overall technology & product strategy, ensuring alignment with long term business priorities
• Lead software product innovation and delivery, driving the product roadmap and ensuring scalable, high-quality solutions
• Support business development through client engagement, proposal development, and partnership collaboration to maximise revenue streams
• Lead major transformation initiatives across infrastructure, software solutions, and enterprise systems
• Ensure the technology estate is secure, scalable, and fit for future growth
• Provide strong leadership and direction to internal teams and key technology partners
• Oversee technology governance, risk, and compliance, including Cyber Essentials+ and data protection standards
• Champion a data driven culture and enhance business intelligence capabilities across the organisation
• Work closely with board level colleagues to influence business strategy through the lens of technology
• Build strong relationships across the business, fostering collaboration and innovation

If you’re a strategic technology leader with a passion for software innovation, commercial growth, and driving organisational success, this is a great chance to make a significant impact. Join a company with strong growth ambitions and a clear vision for the future, where your expertise will directly shape its technology direction and support its continued success.
